Send us a textWelcome to a deliciously devious examination of gold digging strategies as displayed in Dynasty's Season 4, Episode 24 "The Check." This episode serves as the ultimate field guide to extracting wealth from the Denver elite – some methods brilliant, others spectacularly misguided. Mark Jennings emerges as our unexpected hero, demonstrating perfect timing and leverage when he blackmails Alexis Colby for $100,000 after catching her in a lie about Ahmed Rashid. His champagne-sipping, opportunity-seizing approach pays off handsomely as he secures his bag and promptly leaves town. Meanwhile, Tracy works both sides as Dexter's spy in Alexis's company, collecting double paychecks but risking everything with her emotional entanglement. The contrast couldn't be clearer when we witness Kirby's disastrous attempt at revenge against Alexis – a golden opportunity squandered by poor planning and a servant mindset. The episode brilliantly juxtaposes these gold-digging strategies against Blake Carrington's $100 million business crisis and the surprise reappearance of Sammy Jo, whose modeling contract dreams crumble alongside her relationship with an abusive advertising executive. Through each character's trajectory, we learn valuable lessons about target selection, strategic positioning, and knowing exactly when to cash out. Whether you're team Mark "Champagne Poppy" Jennings or fascinated by the psychological blocks preventing Kirby from leveraging her position, this breakdown will have you raising your own champagne flute to those who master the art of securing the bag. The episode ultimately teaches us that successful gold digging isn't just about proximity to wealth – it's about understanding power dynamics, recognizing opportunities, and maintaining the emotional detachment necessary to walk away at the perfect moment.

Kim Masters joins Peter to discuss how Hollywood insiders are reacting to CBS's abrupt cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—and whether it's less about cost-cutting and more about appeasing Trump as David Ellison prepares to take the reins at Paramount.

Today, Martha, Les, Morgan, and Matt discuss the Trump administration's announcement that the U.S. will withdraw from UNESCO by the end of 2026. This marks the third such exit in recent history—first under President Reagan in 1984, again under Trump's first administration, and now once more over concerns of anti-Israel bias and support for “divisive" causes. The decision raises broader questions: Are global institutions like UNESCO advancing U.S. interests—or have they become vehicles for adversarial influence? Is complete withdrawal the best strategy, or is there a more effective way to protect American values while staying at the table?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Follow our experts on Twitter: @marthamillerdc@lestermunson@morganlroach@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Kerry Boulton, the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. Growth eats up cash faster than most owners expect, and many don't realize how easily they can run into a squeeze. She says you've got to keep a constant eye on cash, plan ahead, and understand that scaling up often means funding gaps you need to prepare for. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Kerry shares that her favorite business book is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she says gave her a rock-solid foundation for both business and life. She also loves “The Great Game of Business” by Jack Stack for teaching how to build financial literacy and an ownership mindset in your team. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? For podcasts and learning resources, Kerry highly recommends “Built to Sell Radio” by John Warrillow, which dives into making your business more valuable and sellable. She also likes “Business Lunch” with Roland Frasier & Ryan Deiss, plus the Exit Planning Institute's podcast. And of course, she's a fan of Troy's Grow Small Business Podcast, which she appeared on. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? When it comes to tools, Kerry swears by the Value Builder System, which helps owners see their business through a buyer's eyes, score it across key value drivers, and figure out exactly where to improve to maximize value and exit readiness. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, Kerry laughs and says she'd simply tell herself to “buckle up,” because it's going to be a hell of a ride—full of challenges, personal growth, and ultimately the chance to create freedom and live life on her own terms.

Battles still remain, as the Americans send Stinger missiles to the Mujahideen and the Soviets launch their last major attack in Operation Magistral.
